PILL INVENTOR: PILL HAS
LED TO DEMOGRAPHIC CATASTROPHE

It is truly a grace
to abandon the darkness and discover truth and
the error of one's ways during one's
lifetime.FromCathnews: "Eighty five
year old Carl Djerassi the Austrian chemist who
helped invent the contraceptive pill now says that
his co-creation has led to a "demographic
catastrophe."

Carl Djerassi, an
Austrian chemist was one of three whose formulation
of the synthetic progestogen Norethisterone marked a
key step toward the earliest oral contraceptive pill.

In an Austrian newspaper Djerassi recently"outlined
the "horror scenario" that occurred because of the
population imbalance, for which his invention was
partly to blame. He said that in most of Europe there
was now "no connection at all between sexuality and
reproduction." He said: "This divide in Catholic
Austria, a country which has on average 1.4 children
per family, is now complete."

He described families who had decided against
reproduction as "wanting to enjoy their schnitzels
while leaving the rest of the world to get on with
it."
The
fall in the birth rate, he said, was an "epidemic"
far worse, but given less attention, than obesity.
Young Austrians, he said, were committing national
suicide if they failed to procreate. And if it were
not possible to reverse the population decline they
would have to understand the necessity of an
"intelligent immigration policy."

The head of Austria's Catholics, Cardinal Christoph
Schonborn, told an interviewer that the Vatican had
forecast 40 years ago that the pill would lead to a
dramatic fall in the birth rate in the west.

"Somebody above suspicion like Carl Djerassi ... is
saying that each family has to produce three children
to maintain population levels, but we're far away
from that," he said.

From Wikepedia: Djerassi graduated Phi Beta Kappa
from Kenyon in 1942 with a B.A. in organic chemistry.
In 1943 he began graduate study at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1945.
He became an American citizen in 1945.

"In 1949, Djerassi was recruited to be the associate
director of research at Syntex in Mexico City by
then-technical director George Rosenkranz, working
there from 1950-1951. At Syntex, he worked on a new
synthesis of cortisone based on diosgenin, a steroid
sapogenin derived from a Mexican wild yam. His team
later synthesized norethindrone, a progestin-analogue
that was effective when taken by mouth. This became
part of the first successful oral contraceptive, the
combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP). COCPs became
known colloquially as the birth-control pill, or
simply, the Pill.

"From 1952 to 1959, Djerassi taught chemistry at
Wayne State University. He returned to Syntex from
1957 to 1960, while on a leave of absence.[1][2]

"Since 1959, Djerassi has been a professor of
chemistry at Stanford University and the president of
Syntex Laboratories in Mexico City and Palo Alto,
California. He later started a company called Zoecon,
which used modified insect growth hormones to control
fleas and other insect pests. Zoecon flourished for a
few decades and then was bought by Occidental
Petroleum; for a few years, Djerassi was on the board
of directors of Occidental.

"...if we look through Europe we shall find on the whole
that just those nations and countries have lost their faith
in the divinity of Christ, who have given up devotion to
His Mother..."

"Idolatry
is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also
by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or
alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of
spiritual corruption and cowardice."

"To understand how indispensable the Eucharist is to the
practice of Christian chastity is to understand the meaning
of Christianity. When Christ told us, "Without me, you can
do nothing," He meant this to be taken literally. Without
the constant help of His grace to enlighten our darkened
minds and strengthen our weak wills, all the moral precepts
of the New Testament are so much pious rhetoric or
religious jargon."

"Accumulating knowledge is a form of avarice and lends
itself to another version of the Midas story ...man [is] so
avid for knowledge that everything that he touches turns to
facts; his faith becomes theology; his love becomes

ignores truth."

"Now, tell me whether, when you enter church to hear Mass,
you thoroughly well consider that you are going up as it
were to Calvary, to be present at the death of the
Redeemer... Wickedness is hideous at any time, and in any
place; but sins committed during the time of Mass, and
before the altar, draw down after them the curse of God."
